Awake: 5:35am Temp 43 sleep 6+01 rain & snow flurries overnight @ Nicktown.
Kathy woke me up @ 5:35 because she thinks it’s raining; I asked her to do so because we have (2) slides extended & I’d rather retract the slides now in lieu of climbing the ladder later to sweep water off the slide tops. As daylight approaches, we see flurries flying along with rain.
Around 8:00, a spot of blue sky & sunshine beam down upon us & the drying process begins. Meanwhile, I finish winterizing site # 1, store the telephone line & shore cable & double check our Suzuki tow car.
We leave Nicktown @ 8:50am…..1st stop, a walk around safety check on the equipment; 2nd stop, to avoid getting our home dirty. We parked for over (2) hrs & finally the rain subsided; after giving the sun a chance to dry I-79, we continued….only to run into more rain. Our 3rd stop was @ Flying “J” where we added 154.7 gal of diesel @ $3.51 per gal.
We arrive @ the Country Acre Campground in Ravenna, Ohio @ 2:00pm. This campground is fairly close to my relatives who we want to visit + attend the wedding of the daughter of our best man from our wedding. Our assigned parking site is a pull thru & big rig friendly.
Today’s travel: 158 miles 5+15 time 29 gal used 5.5 mpg avg speed 30.2
Dinner: crab casserole, rice & mixed salad.
Nick calls while walking home from Isilon; he speaks of Jerry’s new strider bike & how well Jerry is doing with his balance; we also cannot avoid talk about the economy.
We watch DVR movie: “I Know Where I’m Going” with Emeric Presssburger, Wendy Hiller, Roger Livesey, Finlay Currie, etc. Simple film of headstrong girl (Hiller) who plans to marry for the money, stranded in Scottish seacoast town for a week, where she meets & slowly falls in love with Livesey. A quiet gem. 1945. Different….we liked it.
Lights out: 12:24am
